Pacquiao will overwhelm Mayweather

by

pac55By Sam S: In this present generation where money is more important to boxers than their legacies, we see a constant scrutiny on the pay-per-view numbers of certain fighters by the hardcore boxing fanatics. So, here I will discuss everything about PPV buys of two of the most loved and hated boxers of our generation, which are of course Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao. Lets see the PPV numbers of their recent fights:

Mayweather-Guererro- ‘875,000 unsure’ Mayweather-Alvarez- ‘2,200,000 ‘ Mayweather-Maidana- ‘850,000 unsure’ Mayweather-Maidana 2- ‘925,000 unsure’

Pacquiao-Marquez 4- ‘1,150,000’ , Pacquiao-Rios- ‘475,000’ , Pacquiao-Bradley 2- ‘800,000’, Pacquiao-Algieri- just over 300,000 unofficial sources.

Mayweather- Pacquiao: The Mega fight of our generation

by

by Sam S: Most of the times in recent years, we have seen Pacquiao say in post fight interviews when asked about Mayweather that he is just a fighter whose job is to fight, Bob Arum is the one who sets up the fights. But, recently after the Algieri fight, we saw for the first time Manny calling out Floyd, which is the intelligent thing to do as he knows that both of them are not getting any younger anymore. Both of the fighters have fought great opponents throughout their careers, but, if they don’t fight each other their legacies will be incomplete besides the fact that there is a lot of money to make in that fight which cannot be equalled by any other fight.

Pacquiao vs Algieri Recap

by

by Sam S: Manny Pacquiao, who scored 6 official knockdowns (although only 4 were legit), beat Chris Algieri by a shut out scoring of 119-103 on two score cards and 120-102 on the other. When was the last time you saw a score line like that? The fight was over in round 9 for me after a huge knockdown, Algieri was counted out, for some reason the referee didn’t count properly and got caught up in the moment. Another knockdown followed but the clock saved Algieri. The fight should have been stopped at that time..

Final take on Pacquiao Algieri

by

by Sam: In my earlier article I wrote how this fight would pan out in my opinion from a neutral fight fan’s point of view. This article will be more about my gut feeling and I’ll explain why I feel the way I do.

To win this fight, Algieri will have to be at his best and fight a perfect fight. First of all from all the coverage I’ve seen on this fight, many experts have said that Manny will face adversity in this bout. I can see that happening. Some rounds may go Algieri’s way. He may be able to dominate Pacquiao with the help of his physical attributes for some rounds and that will frustrate Manny and he will get reckless. I’m not buying that idea. I’ll explain in detail why.

How will Pacquiao-Algieri pan out

by

pac553By Sam: Everyone has a chance to win any particular boxing match, but, if ring experience and IQ are considered, you can’t in any way say that Chris Algieri can beat Manny Pacquiao this Saturday.

You may have a gut feeling that Chris Algieri may win or you may want him to win because he is an underdog, but, if you have enough knowledge in boxing you will know that it is just restricted to that.
